The horsepower upgrade damaged a bit some things! had to clean completely the engine bay, oil everywhere and things like that!
@1700rpm it was doing already 1.4bar of boost, maintaining it until 4800rpm, the problem was exhaust gases too hot! fried the exaust turbine!
maybe in a few month's...
Well and now the mechanical upgrade begins!
que GT1646V with a cold part from a GT1749VB
Here are some photos of the original turbo, the KKK KP35, and photos of the main reason I am changing this.
The EGT's where so high that the hot part of the turbo cranked
the waste gate could...
it's not a 197, but it's a DCI, same interior, hope it helps.... my opinion, too dark, i'm gonna take it off, the interior is too dark, too dead... prolly will use the gray carbon film from 3m
just a minor update... red wheels :p Just ordered the tow strap in red too :p
In the weedkend i'll probably do a photoshoot with more light for you to see the wheels color :p
I friend of mine found them in a wrecking yard here in Portugal, actually at this moment nearby theres a red 197 with the interior completely new, just with a little accidente in the passanger side ( euro edition ), with no damage in the interior.
The guy is asking 750€ for the seats, door...
a oil radiator in the front solves the problem of overheating XD then it's set for the 1749V or 1749VC/mv
my question is, will the injection system be able to deliver enough diesel and with pressure without cranking, so i can have max boost @ 2000rpm at least?
this is the only question for...
Good pictures... try putting wheel spacers in the front too XD then you will note the diference @ high speed at the cost of agility in small corners.
Are you liking the coil's H&R? confortable?
Can I ask what oil temps you are seeing?
around 90/100º
i know that, i'm seeking for opinions on what to buy to take out those momo's, but I have no ideia, I just want a good wheel, resistent and light to. A friend of mine want's me to buy ultraleggeras, bu i don't like them, too...
the led are great, the recaro's are cool but are needing a litle repair.
the only thing i didn't like is the bleu on the vents, etc... that too much blue i think
Well
Here is my clio 3 1.5DCI 85bhp, I have been reading this forum from a Year or so, and I think now is the time to post somo fotos of my renault XD
Sorry if it's not a mechanical project, but this year it will be changed(i promise), new turbo, exhaust line, oil radiator, new Intercooler...
45mm is hard + the bilstein, the suspension becomes a bit disconfortable, but as i live in Portugal, these roads are full of holes so, i don't bother any more.
